An estate sale is scheduled for 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 30-31.

Despite the move, the Haynes’ are planning to retain a presence in Baton Rouge through opening a restaurant/brewery once they find the right property.

β€œWe are currently speaking with folks about relocating in town, but we haven’t nailed anything down,” owner John Haynes said. β€œFamily and friends are here, so we’d like to find a place. We’re working on that.”

The business, which was a restaurant, brewery and farm, opened in 2020 and closed in January.

According to the Instagram post, the property has been divided into four pieces and is up for auction .

The property for sale, one of the four contiguous properties offered, includes the 5.7 acres with the former brewery and restaurant, β€œThe Red Barn,” for $475,000 as the asking price. Investors can buy one or bid on all of the parcels to create a family compound, expanded estate, or larger mixed-use property.

The land includes the 6,000-square-foot brewery and restaurant facility, rustic architecture, reclaimed elements, expansive indoor and outdoor spaces, a kitchen area, walk-in, tasting/serving areas, two restrooms, storage, and a 150-seat outdoor courtyard.
